IF ApRches read the Prescott papers they will be astonished to learn of their own badness. The people of Southern Arizona had previously painted them in sll she hues of darkness, but it remained for our northern contemporaries to ge. the bulge ID On color. Strange it is what wonderful SolicItude our northern neighbors have for the dear people against She proverbiRlly redhanded Apache, but this new love, born of selfish ness, hHs been forced into life by ihe possible colonization of 12OO Apaches op the Camp Verde military reservation. Strange it IS that these things were not thought of when Whipple was head quarters and the Apache rode red handed through Southern Arizona.

THE country about Florence, and more particularly that portion reached by the Florence canal, is -eminently fruit growing section. It is the natural home of the grape which natures in absolute perfection for either wine or raisin mak- ing, while the orange and lemon attain size and flavor that is not excelled any where in the world. These lands will soon undergo transformation from worthless and barren desert plains into rich orchards and prolific vineyards, with beautiful and happy homes, and their productions will command tribute from all parts of the world. The soil is rich and deep, and plentiful supply of water is available to nourish vegetation for all time. With many miles square of such fertile land, with abundant water to fer tilize and reclaim it, there is no necessity for one to be prophet, nor the son ot a prophet, to foreteIl the measure of pros perity and activity destined to character ize the broad valley of the Gila at this point, and the importance of the large city into which our present modest town will expand.

Farming in Japan.

An American writer who visited soma of the most important of the agricultural districts of Japan in company with Gen. -se.a P,1ren, Tinted States consul general, at Yokohama, has pub1sneu an lntofusin account of what he saw and heard. Of labor saving instruments or machines Japan has very few. Even the blow is1 but little used, a broad plated mattock being the principal tool for stirring the soil, and there is not flour mill in the country, unless the hand grinding ma chine similar to that depicted on the tombs of the ancient Egyptians can be called by that name. Wheat is for the most part hulled and eaten as rice is, that which is ground being made into .unleav- ened cakes There is no word in the Jap anese language for bread, nor any pro cess in the national cookery analogous to yeast fermentation.
 In many parts of the country the soil is extremely fertile and the cultivation is ex- cellent Near Kioto, the old capital, it is not uncommon to grow seventy bushels of rice to the acre as the second crop of the year from the same land which had pro duced forty bushels of wheat as winter crop. Nor is this all the years produce, for early vegetables are sown between the rows of wheat in February, maturing with the latter in May. After the wheat harvest the land is prepared for and planted with rice, which is harvested in October. Barley and rye, like wheat, are planted in the autumn. Maize is culti- vated to some extent and millet is pro- duced abundantly in attitudes where rice will not flourish. The farmers manure the land heavily and stir it great num- Der of times between harvesting and sew ing also cultivating between the rows after the corn is up.-Chieago Times.
